摘要
Understanding young adults' green behavior and its antecedents are critical in consolidating the worldwide environmental product market. The aim of this research is to study the effects of green self-identity and perceived product value on the green behavioral intentions of young adults, considering the role of individual's values and peer influence as antecedents of green self-identity. The study develops and tests a theoretical framework using data of US and Mexican young adults. Green self-identity and green product values positively impact behavioral intentions. In addition, green peer influence and personal values, specifically social and environmental values, affect green self-identity. Practitioners should meet young adults' product value expectations and appeal to their green-self-identity. A post hoc analysis indicates the model holds for both markets despite their cultural differences. However, analysis indicates differences in the mean of green self-identity and behavioral intentions between the two markets that future studies may address.
